From the Outside Looking In…

We will miss him forever.  Yes, some say he was loud.  Others say he was abrasive in his selling style, but I enjoyed watching him!  I remember sitting back and watching television when it happened – about thirty times each day…the inevitable took place:
Hi, Billy Mays here for ______________ (insert item name here).  Whether it [...]

So I got a phone call a few days ago that my father was in the hospital.  A shock to me for two reasons: first, it was my sister who called and the last time she called me was to tell me my mother had died back in 2001.  Usually I am the one to [...]

Yesterday was a very busy day for me and it started very early with a cold morning meeting at school for Beautification Day.  About 12 of us gathered at school to pot some large plants to place around the school, mainly one in each classroom, and a few other scattered around the office and auditorium.  [...]

Her breakout role, after forty years of struggling, was the ever-wise grand matriarch Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls.  I love that show and watch it every chance I can catch it on the television.  After a little internet search, I came across some of her famous witty comments.  Here [...]

This is my last blog entry. I have spent the last year sharing myself with you, all of my faithful readers, and I think now is the time to step down. It has been a lot of work, work I enjoyed, just writing about my day and life experiences. Some of you [...]

A rainy, dreary morning is what I woke up to.  A massive headache is what I woke up with.  Sitting here at home drinking water and taking some aspirin are the remedies I hope will be effective, but its probably just a stress headache.  I am trying to stay on top of everything that is [...]
